Objectives and competences
The course provides comprehensive and rigorous training in the use of phylogenetic and coalescence-based methods to infer mechanisms and evolutionary history using high-throughput sequencing data. The course will cover the main methods of phylogenetic inference, molecular dating, species delimitation and coalescence theory-based methodologies to infer demographic history and determine the impact of natural selection. Special emphasis will be placed on hands-on experience, use of state-of-the-art software, and case studies of applications of phylogenetic methods.
